Contractual Employees Handbook

WICOMICO COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS CONTRACTUAL EMPLOYEE’S GUIDE 6. Upon retirement or separation from employment, the employee must turn in all keys to the immediate supervisor or the Foreman of Maintenance. 7. The school administration or department head will maintain a current key control list of all keys issued to personnel directly under their supervision. 8. Under no circumstances is an employee to have County keys duplicated by anyone other than authorized personnel in the WCPS Maintenance Department. Anyone violating this rule will be subject to disciplinary action. Security System Fobs Statement The security access system was installed to provide a more efficient and effective means to allow employee entrance into schools and offices and to maintain control over visitor access. The possession of a security fob (“fob”) is it a serious responsibility because the security of the school system would be compromised by the loss or negligent use of a fob. The security access system tracks access by door and by fob. When an employee is issued a fob, the following guidelines are in effect immediately: 1. Fobs, like keys should never be left lying around, in or on top of desks, or similar locations. 2. Fobs are issued based on the employee’s specific need for school or office access. It should never be passed on to a student, another employee or a non-school employee. 3. Loss of a fob must be reported to the employee's immediate supervisor immediately, so that the access granted by the fob can be disabled. Failure to do so will justify disciplinary action. Replacement fobs may be issued, with the appropriate replacement fee payroll deducted from the employee’s next paycheck. 4. Broken or damaged fobs are to be turned in to the immediate supervisor for examination. Replacement fobs may be issued, with the appropriate replacement fee payroll deducted from the employee’s next paycheck. 5. Upon retirement or separation from employment, the employee must turn in the fob to the immediate supervisor. Failure to return the fob may result in the withholding of accrued salary or the employee’s separation may be considered “not in good standing” until it is turned in. Safety Procedures Employees are required to be conscious of and adhere to proper safety procedures. Attendance at all safety meetings is required. In addition, employees are expected to report any accidents and/or unsafe conditions to their immediate supervisor.
